IGHT years ago this company produced the first Gas Arc Lamps. 
‘To-day the same lamps are giving as efiicient service as when 
first installed. During most of this time we have had our man- 

ufacturing facilities taxed to the limit to keep pace with the demands 
upon us. Our plant has been repeatedly enlarged, and our types of 
lamps have been varied along conservative lines. 

In producing new designes we have endeavored to create some- 
thing that will supplement and round out a gas company’s lighting 
facilities rather than supersede former productions of proven merit. It 
is not our aim to make lamps that will merely cater to momentary 
fancies as regards style and shape. We believe that the best interests 
of the gas business are conserved by fewer lamps of standard construc- 
tion, and work to this end. 

Inverted mantle lamps, both single burners and clusters, have 
recived much attention during the last few years. They possess 
poin's of distinct merit sufficient to insure their use even though their 
operation has not yet been brought to the same degree of simplicity 
that attends the upright mantle lamps. 

The Humphrey Inverted Gas Arc Lamp under proper condi- 
tions of gas supply will give most wonderful illumination results. 
‘Thousands are now in successful operation. 

Observation leads us to believe that the Inverted Gas Arc will 
create a place for itself without unduly disturbing the demand for our 
lamps of established design now so satisfactorily in use. 

Local conditions best known to gas managers will determine 
just how fast the Inverted Arc can be introduced without prejudice to 
other business. Frankly we admit that there are many cities where 
the arc lamp patronage is now in such gratifying shape that the Invert- 
ed Arc will be merely supplementary to the standard types. In these 
cities they will find lodgment in stores in which the present types do 
not appeal and therefore they will not disturb present conditions. Fol- 
lowing our fixed policy of acting in entire harmony with the best 
interests of the gas trade we expect the new lamps will be handled by 
and under the direction of the gas companies themselves. 

All Humphrey Lamps will continue to bear our unconditional 
guarantee of mechanical and illuminating superiority. 


GENERAL GAS LIGHT Co. 





Progress 
T° those who have actively engaged in the gas bus- 


iness during recent years it is needless to say 
much by way of introduction to a catalogue of 
Humphrey Gas Arc Lamps. 

Progress in gas sales, energetic and well directed 
management, and the Humphrey Lamp have been so 
closely allied that one suggests the others. 

Yet in so rapidly expanding an industry as the gas 
business, new men must be constantly recruited, and to 
them we will briefly sketch the history of one of their 
greatest weapons against all competition in the lighting 
line. 

When the Humphrey Gas Arc Lamp was placed on 
the market, it was the first practical and economical high 
power gas lamp ever produced. Its success was imme- 
diate; no gas appliance ever met with such extraordinary 
appreciation and phenominal sale. 


Electrical Competition 


HE field for the Humphrey Gas Arc Lamp brings 
it into direct competition with the electric arc. 
In our opinion at no time could the open elec- 
tric arc lamp be fairly said to be a good or even 
practical light for indoor purposes. It is but fair to 
state, however, that the ‘‘Incandescent, or Enclosed 
Arc,” is a good light, and when pushed with energy has 
no difficulty in displacing in stores, etc., the ordinary 
gas fixtures and other forms of individual incandescent 
gas lights with their unclean or broken chimneys, misfit 
bunsens, carbonized mantles, costly maintenance, and 
inconvenient methods of lighting and extinguish. 
And it is with the Humphrey Gas Arc Lamp only 
that this competition can be successfully met. We 
claim superiority over the electric arc as follows: 


More Actual Light. Greater in volume and has 
not the thin appearance of the electric light. 

Better Color. Shadowless. Steadier. Requires 
Less Attention. 

Cost of Light to Consumer Less. 

First cost of Lamps Installed to Gas Compan- 
ies is Much Less. Probably About Half the Cost 
of an Electric Light to Electric Companies. 

The fact that we are selling thousands of these 
lamps to companies having combined plants we believe 
substantiates our claims. 

During the past eight years the Humphrey Gas Arc 
Lamps have been in constant and direct competition 
with the best forms of electric lighting, and Gas Com- 
panies by their means have been able to stay the stam- 
pede to electricity and to preserve and regain their most 
profitable source of income. 

They are to be found in use in practically every city 
in the United States, and in many cities in proportional 
numbers to the city of Chicago, which alone has 75,000 
Humphrey Lamps in regular service. 

They are also to be found in use in every civilized 
country in the world, and up-to-date gas companies 
everywhere, instead of wondering how to resist en- 
croachments, are now the aggressive ones. 


Small Lighting Units vs. Large 
(ise in the face of this wonderful record, well 


meaning and sincere gentlemen of more scholarly 
attainments than actual experience in. the com- 
mercial department of the gas trade occasionally rise in 
the councils of their brothers and descant profoundly on 
the scientific superiority of small light units in com- 
mercial gas lighting. Others whose aims cannot be 





urged as disinterested are busily engaged in an attempt 
to spread a similar propaganda. We have no quarrel 
with the scientic arguments of our erudite friends or 
the thinly veiled advertising of merchants with other 
wares to sell. 

Small unit gas lighting conditions, however, are 
practically the same now as before the advent of the 
Humphrey Gas Arc Lamps. Gas men as able and in- 
genious as ever graced the profession then fitted single 
lights in all conceivable combinations, maintained them 
at highest efficiency regardless of expense and lost out 
against the ever advancing electric light. What hope of 
better success to-day? The higher power single burners 
have been tested and found wanting; the one mantle 
inverted burners for commercial purposes have all the 
disadvantages of the upright lamp and some objection- 
able perculiarities of their own. Humphrey Gas Arc 
Lamps, self lighting, reliable, convenient, economical 
and efficient, fulfill the requirements of the business man. 


Installation and Maintenance 


AS companies install and maintain Humphrey 
(is) Lamps in various ways. We have obtained data 

from nearly every gas company in the country, 
and we find that the ones who get the best results are 
those who retain ownership of the lamps, install them 
free, or on a small monthly rental, and maintain them at 
a cost to the consumer only sufficient to defray the 
actual cost of maintenance. 

A special booklet containing fac-simile letters from 
gas companies, showing copies of leases, maintenance 
blanks, etc., will be sent any gas company on appli- 
cation. 

But whatever system of installation any gas com- 
pany may adopt, whether the lamps are sold outright to 





the customer or are installed on a monthly rental basis, 
it is of the greatest importance to the gas business that 
each company should maintain the lights, replace broken 
mantles, keep the glassware clean and see that the lamps 
are always in working order, the same as an electric 
company does. Once this system is adopted, gas com- 
panies will see their lighting business grow most wonder- 
fully and will always have stores which are beautifully 
lighted and a credit to the gas industry. 


New Business 
J". has been repeatedly stated to us by managers of 


gas companies that they consider the earnings of 

a Gas Arc Lamp during a year to be fully equal 
to the earnings of a gas stove. This statement we know 
to be practically true, and it goes to prove what we have 
always maintained, that commercial lighting is the very 
cream of the gas business. 

Gas companies who have pushed the stove business 
the last few years fully appreciate the increased con- 
sumption which has resulted from their efforts. But 
much of the business was obtained at considerable out- 
lay for mains and services which were run hundreds of 
yards to get a few new customers, while the great busi- 
ness of lighting stores and factories in the center of the 
city with the mains and connections all ready, has been 
neglected. 


Mechanical Construction 
5 es remember that we are the largest and 


probably the only exclusive gas lamp house in 
the world. We make more lamps than all other 
lamp houses put together, and we manufacture our goods 
instead of jobbing them out to metal working institu- 
tions—a piece here and a piece there—to be made on 





competitive bids and in the cheapest possible way. 
Every article in this catalog except glassware and lamp 
posts is our own product. This insures uniformity of 
construction and interchangeability of parts, simplifying 
the matter of repairs at a future date. 

Our factories are all equipped with the finest facil- 
ities for doing work right. Humphrey Lamps are made 
of the best material and will stand wear and tear. We 
have tried and we believe succeeded in producing the 
very best lamp it is possible to build. 


ECrpert LAnowledge 


E have studied the gas business with a view to 
yw building up the lighting end of it. The own- 

ership of this company is represented by owners 
in more than forty prominent gas companies. We have 
tried to make such goods as in our estimation would 
assist the gas company to increase its sales, and are con- 
stantly placing in the hands of our customers data cal- 
culated to serve this end. 

The conditions governing the variation in style of 
burner, size and number of gauzesand orifice of gas ways 
to be used, the control of the pressure and the problems 
generally arising from the differences in combustion of 
various gases are fairly well understood by most gas men. 
We have, however, made many and exhaustive experi- 
ments under all kinds of situations and when we are 
furnished with data covering details of manufacture and 
distribution as they exist in the various cities, we furnish 
lamps equipped to meet them. We invite and are always 
ready to respond to any inquiries which we may get re- 
garding these matters and we will cheerfully send a 
representative where the difficulties are not readily un- 
derstood and overcome. 





Standard Jndoor Lamp 


HIS is the original Gas Arc Lamp that revolution- 

ized the commercial gas lighting business. | lm- 

provements in detail of construction have been 
made from time to time and it is a thoroughly up-to-date 
lamp. The metal work is all so shielded by the glass 
that deteriorating effects of heat and combustion pro- 
ducts are practically avoided. This design continues to 
be one of the best selling of our entire line. 

We guarantee all four-burner lamps to give as great 
ora greater amount of light and a much more satisfactory 
illumination than the so-called 2000 candle power electric 
arc, with a consumption of 16 to 18 feet of gas per hour. 

These startling results are obtained without the use 
of chimneys. The grouping of the mantles around the 
central supply pipe preheats and greatly expands the 
gases; the peculiar construction of the burners effects 
proper and complete aeration of the gases, thus greatly 
increasing the efficiency of combustion and economy in 
amount of gas used. 

The mantles will not carbonize or blacken when 
burners are clean and properly cared for. 

Indoor lamps may be supplied with the one mantle 
night light. This was especially designed as its name 
implies to allow the use of but one burner as an all-night 
light in business houses, and the equip- 
ment of any store should include one 
lamp of this style. For places where the 
full power of light is not required at all 
times, such as upper floors, stock rooms, 
etc., this lamp is very useful. Light from 
all the mantles or from only one may be 
had as wanted by a pull of the chain. 

The small corner illustration shows 
lamp with one mantle in service.

Cylinder Lamps 


N the Cylinder style of lamps we are able to use a 
more compact construction and to a greater extent 
abandon the large ceiling plate. Combustion efh- 

ciency is improved by the draft-inducing cylinder which 
has been carefully proportioned to get just the right 
effect. 

All Humphrey Indoor Gas Arcs are instantly 
lighted simply by pulling the chain, and extinguished as 
easily. The burners are ignited by means of a small 
pilot jet burning but a few feet of gas a day, which by 
convenience and time saving, pays its cost many times 
over. 

Humphrey Lamps will replace electric arcs, light 
for light, with the most satisfactory results in point of 
illumination and a saving in cost of 25 to 50 per cent. 

For low ceilings where it is desirable to use the 16- 
inch ceiling plates either of opal glass or enameled steel, 
we supply a sliding collar which fits over ordinary 3% gas 
pipe and may be fastened by a set screw at any height; 
this forms the support for the ceiling plate holder. 

Cylinder Lamps are used either with or without 
lower shades and with round or pearshaped globes of 
clear or alabaster glass. In view of the many combina- 
tions of glassware regularly supplied with these lamps, 
we particularly urge our customers to be specific in stat- 
ing just what is wanted. 

Cylinder lamps are finished in polished nickel or 
porcelain enamel and nickel. Porcelain enamel is the 
most durable finish for a ventilator or cylinder and the 
purchaser has a range of choice as to color effects. 
White and gold, green and gold, blue and gold or black 
and gold porcelain is constantly in stock.

Fudoor Fnberted Lamps 


N Inverted Gas Arc Lamp, to justify its existence 
and the higher production cost inseparable from 
any workmanlike construction, must give more 

light for the gas used. Reliance on the natural tendency 
of an inverted mantle to throw the light down and the 
novelty of such a burner is not sufficient. 

Lamps using inverted mantles arranged in clusters 
are no new thing either at home or abroad, but lacking 
real increased spherical efficiency, they have simply ap- 
pealed to the occasional buyer asking a change, and not 
to the discriminating expert demanding actual improve- 
ment. . 

The Humphrey Inverted Arc burns the gas right, 
the fixture is compact and handsome, the distribution of 
light perfect, and the illuminating effect wonderful. 

The five-mantle lamp has been tested in the Electri- 
cal Testing Laboratories of New York and found to give 
460 candle power on a gas consumption of 15% cubic 
feet per hour. The light distribution far surpasses any 
of the various tungsten cluster reflector combinations. 

The three-mantle lamp will use from 10 to 12 feet 
of gas per hour, yielding 30 candles per foot of gas. 
For close competitive work it will land the business. 
Especially recommended to use against gasoline systems. 

The operation of the lamp is simple and maintenance 
cost will be moderate. 

By means of a rachet device the same chain that is 
pulled to light the lamp will extinguish it when pulled 
again. An indicator at all times plainly shows the 
position of the valve. 

The globe swings down allowing access to mantles 
without removal from the holder. 

The mantles are held in a single plate which may 
easily be swung aside, mantle renewals and burner clean- 
ing being accomplished with great ease. 

Burners are of non-conducting, non-corroding por- 
celain; a most important thing in lamps of the inverted 
pattern, 

Clear globes, as usual, will give the most light, but, 
on account of the high power of the lamp, alabaster 
globes will be very popular; they show as a solid ball 
of white light.

factory Lamp 


HE Humphrey Factory Lamp is the result of a 
careful study of conditions in our own and many 
other shops. It meets a long felt want and solves 

the problem of economical factory illumination. 

In the construction all glassware is eliminated ex- 
cept the globe. The canopy, reflector and globe holder 
are all made of steel, coated inside and out with porce- 
lain enamel. 

Ninety per cent. of all dust and dirt accumulating 
about a lamp in a work shop drops from the ceiling as a 
result of jars from the floor above or vibration of shaft- 
ing, etc. The canopy fully protects the interior of the 
Factory Lamp. The bottom is closed in as much as is 
practical in an up-draft lamp. 

_ The special burner construction permits all dust to 
pass through to flame where it is consumed. 

The lamp is extremely durable, efficient and hand- 
some, and after long use needs only to be dusted to 
resume its original appearance. 

In factories where jar and vibration prevail we earn- 
estly recommend the use of our all metal Anti-Vibrator; 
this is shown in cut but not included in price of lamp. 

The Humphrey Factory Lamp is not a cheap piece 
of work but a high grade article built for its special pur- 
pose and will find its sale among careful buyers where 
quality and efficiency are the determining factors in a 
purchase. 

Can be supplied with one mantle night light if 
wanted.

Outdoor Lamp 


HE Humphrey Outdoor Lamp has opened prac- 
tically an entirely new field of opportunity for the 
sale of gas. Gas companies have not been slow to 

appreciate this and in the past few years outdoor lighting 
business of all kinds has been developed amazingly. We 
have special literature dealing with this subject so will 
not enlarge upon it here, but hope that all who afe 
interested will give us the privilege of explaining fully 
the great possibilities in this line. 

Experience has shown that brass, copper or any 
other unprotected metal will not stand the action of the 
heat and the elements which an outdoor lamp is subject 
to. After much investigation we have found that cer- 
tain grades of steel, when coated with a special heat 
resisting enamel fused to the metal in a white hot muf- 
fe, will meet the exacting conditions of outdoor gas 
lighting. 

The lamp is lighted by a turn of a key, no chain to 
tempt mischief makers to light burners when not wanted. 
The key is detachable and may be removed entirely if 
found desirable. 

Globe can be instantly lowered to put on new man- 
tles by simply pressing springs in bottom, or removed to 
clean by pressing other similar springs. The sliding 
rods carrying globe Support move in gas tight casing, 
doing away with any necessity for stuffing boxes. 

i Lamps are storm and bug proof. 

The parabolic reflector shown in the 
small illustration will throw all the light in 
one direction and is highly to be recom- 
mended for certain classes of lighting.

HE Humphrey Residence Lamp is an artistic fix- 
ture adapted to moderate conditions of incandescent 
gas lighting. All the objectionable features in- 

herent in old style long arm chandeliers are eliminated. 
The lamp is compact, durable, convenient. The light is 
strong, but this can be softened with fancy shades of 
glass, silk or beads, so as to harmonize with any sur- 
roundings. It makes an ideal light in the parlor, sitting 
room or over dining or library table. 

All parts are quickly re- 
movable for cleaning, same as 
in the large Ornamental Arc 
shown on page 23. The ceiling 
canopy is of sufficient size to be 
effective without being cumber- 
some or unsightly. <A _ pilot 
light ignites all the burners at 
once. Consumers will find the 
small amount of gas required by 
the pilot will scarcely be noticed 
in the gas bill and that its use 
will be such a positive conven- 
ience as to be well worth many 
times the cost. When it is de- 
sired to have but one mantle 
lighted, a slight pull of the chain 
will extinguish other burners. 

The regular finishes of brushed brass, oxidized cop- 
per, wrought iron black will match almost all the usual 
metal work of a home, but special finishes of any kind 
will be made at a small extra cost. Brushed brass is 
furnished regularly when no particular finish is specified. 

When not otherwise specified lamps are shipped with 
opal shades and % ground bowl globe as shown above. 

Green, ruby and canary shades and fringes are car- 
ried in stock.

Ornamental Arc 


HE extreme popularity of the regular commercial 
C designs of Humphrey lamps has resulted in a call 
: from exclusive stores for a different pattern of 
lamp, something that would not be seen in a majority 
of business houses. 

Churches, Public Halls, Lodge Rooms, etc., have 
wanted a more decorative fixture; for all these, as well as 
high class stores, the Ornamental Arc is recommended. 

Lamps are finished in brush brass, wrought iron 
black, or oxidized copper. Colored glassware same as 
shown with the residence lamps is carried in stock and 
greatly enhances the attractiveness of the Ornamental 
Arcs. 

The bracket which holds the reflector shade is 
hinged at the top and held in position at the bottom by 
a spring which needs only to be pressed to release it, 
thus making the removal of the shade for cleaning a very 
simple matter. The globe holder is held in place by a 
spring which permits globe to be quickly taken off. 
Ceiling shade or canopy is glass with the new pattern 
rolled rim. Each lamp has the one-mantle night light 
feature. |

Dumphrey Antt-wtbrators 


RE the result of innumerable calls for a device that would take 
care of the vibration or jar so fatal to the life of mantles 
in many buildings, especially factories. We were not able to 

find a practical article that did not include in its construction a quantity 
of rubber hose, the use of which, for this purpose, is forbidden by In- 
surance Underwriters on account of its great liability to leak from dis- 
integration, rupture or becoming detached, making 
possible the ignition of the gas by flame from below. 

Humphrey Anti-Vibrators are built entirely of metal, 
are safe, durable, compact and effectually take up all 
jar. An ingenious arrangement of ground joints sus- 
pended by a coiled spring makes a perfectly elastic and 
and mobile support for Humphrey Lamps and per- 
mits them to move freely in every direction. 

The joints are made of heavy brass castings and 
have large gas ways. Each Anti-Vibrator is tested 
under high pressure and only most carefully ground 
Joints pass inspection. The spring is made of the 
best wire. 

Style A is made in two sizes; with 34-inch connec- 





tions for the indoor lamp and %-inch for outdoor 





lamp. It permits the adjustment of the 


ne 


spring to take up stretch in the wire Style B 
should any occur. 

In Style B the elbow brings the ceiling 
drop and lamp directly in line; this design is 
made only in the 36-inch size for indoor 
lamps. 


Wolled Wim Ceiling Syade 


E call attention to our rolled rim ceil- 
ing shade which is especially designed 
for the protection of fine ceilings. 
It has been tested by some of the best gas 
appliance men in the country and pronounced 
highly effective. A small extra charge per 
lamp is made when equipped with this shade.

Window Lamp 


OR window lighting, billiard 
tables and all places where 
a strong concentrated light is need- 
ed we recommend our 18-inch 
silver glass reflector made in two 
depths, either 9 inches or 6 inches. 


OTHE HUMPHREX AL a 
LF pone a 


a = When standard lamps are espec- 
—\\* Ree a ially ordered for window use we 
fit them with a 10-inch lower pipe 
to bring the globe well under the 
reflector. With cylinder lamps no 
especial fitting is required. 
Full ground or alabaster globes 
will often be found desirable on 


lamps over billiard tables where 





the rays otherwise would be too 
strong for the players’ eyes. 


Denttlating Window Lamp 


HIS lamp was originally designed for 
one of the large metropolitan gas 
companies to use in enclosed windows. A 
nickel plated flue pipe should be carried 
from the lamp out through the top of the 
window enclosure and products of som- 
bustion discharged into the main body of 
the store, where the ventilation is ample to 
care for it without inconvenience. 

As shown, the lamp is supplied with an 
inverted valve above, the pilot tube being 
carried down beside the main supply pipe 
to its usual position. Cords are attached 
to the operating chains and carried through 
pulleys in the ceiling to any accessible 
point. “hese lamps are also made with 
the regular valve and lower chains. 

In the use of this ventilating lamp the 
sweating of windows is largely avoided as 
is also the over heating of goods on display 
which is sometimes a serious obstacle to 
the use of gas in small enlosures.

fAantles 


N_ experience of 
six years as job- 
bers of arc man- 

tles demonstrated to 
us that mantle quality 
might be materially 
improved by the en- 
trance into the field of 
a concern whose prime 
interest is not in the 
selling of the largest 
quantity of mantles. 

Two years ago we 
commenced the manu- 
facture of Arc Mantles 
forming an auxiliary 
company known as The General Gas Mantle Company. 
The business has been a marked success, demanding 
constantly increasing space until we are now forced to 
begin the construction of an entirely 
“mee ya new mantle factory that will be a 

" model of its kind and give us additional 
facilities for producing the highest 
grade of mantles. 

Humphrey Arc Mantles are made 
to help the Humphrey Arc Lamps. 
The longer a mantle lasts ona lampand 
holds its brilliancy, the better for the 
lamp business. 

Humphrey Arc Mantles are made 
in both single and double weave. 
Many people are prejudiced against 
double weave mantles. We were our- 
selves until our mantle makers showed 
us how good a really first-class double 
weave mantle is.

The initial brilliancy of a Humphrey Arc Mantle 
is no greater than many others, it is hard to do better here. 

The extra chemical content of a Humphrey Mantle 
manifests itself in long continued brilliancy. 

Try it out for several months 
beside any other you choose. Time 
tests tell the tale. 

Single Burner Mantles.—The 

excellence of the Humphrey Arc 
pal PREMIER vt Mantles has created a demand for 
equally good cap mantles for single 
burners. We are now in position to 
supply first quality cap mantles. 

The Gold Bond Mantle is put 
up under a 90-day guarantee label that provides for the 
replacement free of charge of any mantles breaking dur- 
ing the time named. 

The No. 7 Cap Mantle is a high 
grade article, mounted on nickel wires, 
and giving a pleasant mellow light. 

Inverted Mantles.— All Humph- 
rey Inverted Mantles are made by a 
secret process developed for us by the 
collaboration of one of the ablest chem- 
ists of the world in association with 
our own factory experts. 

Humphrey upright mantles are = = 
equal to any and superior to most upright ‘dunes Bat 
of the Humphrey Inverted Mantle we say without 
reservation there isn’t anything even approximately as 
good on the American market. 

The No. 10 Inverted Mantle is designed for use on 
Humphrey Inverted Arcs. 

Inverted Mantles Nos. 7 and 8 will fit nearly all 
makes of inverted single burners. In ordering mention 
burner that is to be fitted and we will supply proper mantle.

Boulevard Lamp post 


N THE remarkable development of outdoor gas 

lighting which the improved Humphrey Outdoor 

lamp has made possible, the illumination of store 
fronts by means of lamps suspended from ornamental 
posts set at the curb has proved exceedingly popular. 
We can refer to individual installations of thirty to forty 
posts used in lighting up corner locations in some of the 
larger cities. In other cities improvement associations 
have used this method of drawing attention and trade to 
their particular locality. 

The post we offer is of strong, handsome con- 
struction, an ornament to any place. Its dimensions are 
fully given in the line drawing on the opposite page. 
The curve top section is fitted with a 34-inch gas supply 
pipe centered within the outer casing so as to be insulated 
from cold. It does not show in our illustration but is 
always supplied. 

Posts are made either with the ornamental scroll 
work or with simply a plain curve top. Dimensions are 
same for both. 

The base should be set in concrete, care being taken 
not to get any inside the post or in contact with the gas 
service pipe on account of the liability to transmit frost. 
A flanged base can be furnished for bolting to walks that 
are excavated beneath.

Glassware 


N the following three pages are shown a variety of 
Globes and Shades. More detailed description 
will be given in the separate net price-list. 

Nine-inch Globes are used on all 3, 4, 5 and 6 bur- 
ner indoor lamps. We have them in two shapes, round 
and pear, the latter being favored for cylinder lamps 
without shades. Clear Globes will pass more light, but 
Alabaster is preferred by many on account of its power 
to soften the light without a great deal of diminution in 
volume. 

Eight-inch Globes are used on standard 2-burner 
indoor lamps. 

Eleven-inch Globes are used on all outdoor lamps.

MOutdoor Sign 





HE sign above illustrated makes an inexpensive 

and attractive advertisement both day and night. 

It fits the regular Humphrey Outdoor Lamp, 
fastening in the same manner and in place of the ordinary 
reflector shade. The bottom and back towards the store 
is open and when hung before a window the light is 
thrown inside showing the goods on display. The 
illumination of the sign at the same time is complete 
and effective. 

Dimensions—28 inches wide, 22 inches high, 13 
inches deep. Glass panels 12% inches square. 

We recommend the purchase of the sign frame only 
without any glass as this can be easily fitted and lettered 
by any good sign painter. 

When glass is ordered it will be packed separately 
and with the utmost care, but we cannot guarantee safe 
delivery, and all shipments will be at purchaser’s risk.
